A Steuben County woman was killed when she was run over by her own car Tuesday evening.

New York State Police said it appeared that Bonnie S. Kraft, 75, stopped at Fall Creek and Bearlick Hollow roads in Hartsville to collect mail from her mailbox on Tuesday evening when she exited and was run over by her own vehicle. Troopers were alerted to the accident by a passing delivery driver and neighbors.

Kraft was found trapped underneath the driver's side of her car around 5:50 p.m. Emergency responders and neighbors together worked to move the vehicle and removed Kraft from underneath the still-running vehicle, troopers said.

She was taken to St, James Mercy Hospital in Hornell, where she was pronounced dead, troopers said.

Investigators said it appeared that Kraft accidentally put her vehicle in reverse gear rather than park just before she exited the vehicle. She was apparently knocked to the ground and pinned by the moving vehicle, troopers said.
